Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

You should pay for your CO2 emissions: The more you emit, the more you pay; The less you emit, the less you pay.Rich folks should pay a higher rate of environmental tax than poor. There are ways to do this.
Why?Also you could give everyone a quota of three flights per year and allow people to trade.
"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." Mark Twain
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” Napoléon Bonaparte
Three flights? Doesn't make much sense. The emissions of a flight vary massively. It depends on the kind of plane or size of plane. It depends on the length of the journey, the turbulence and the weight of the plane. Does a "flight" include an initial transfer to Heathrow, for example? Is a "flight" a single journey or a return flight. Why should it cost someone the same in quotas to fly to New York by jet than to fly to the UK by prop?Originally Posted by factual
A much simpler and more effective system than that or a tax is cap and share. It doesn't dispropotionately hurt the poor, it punishes people who live unsustainable lives and rewards those who are sustainable (or close to it).

Does it matter, the changes being made under the global warming cause are badly needed for other reasons...
In the energy and transport sector, we need to break our dependence on fossil fuels, as they won't last forever, nor are they getting any cheaper...
In the waste management sector, we need to find better ways of disposing of our waste as we're going to start running out of good places to put it.
